| SAN DIEGO, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Longbio Pharma (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Longbio Pharma”), a leading biotech company dedicated to developing innovative protein treatments for allergy, respiratory, dermatology, hematology, ophthalmology, and other autoimmune and rare diseases, proudly announced the Phase I data of LP-003 (new generation of anti-IgE antibody) at the 2024 American Academy of Dermatology Association annual meeting (2024AAD). The presentation of the poster titled “A Phase 1 study in healthy subjects of LP-003, a novel long-acting, high affinity anti-IgE antibody” by Longbio Pharma marked a significant moment during the conference. Title: A Phase 1 study in healthy subjects of LP-003, a novel long-acting, high affinity anti-IgE antibody LP-003 exhibited a non-linear PK characteristic with T1/2 ranging from 44.6 days to 76.5 days, which is approximately 2～3 fold of Omalizumab. Moreover, the free-IgE was suppressed to below detection range for more than 168 days at 1 mg/kg group (except one with high baseline IgE level) to 10 mg/kg group. LP-003 appears to show good safety profile. No Grade 3 and above TEAE was reported, establishing a solid foundation for further investigation and advancement. Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) stands as a prevalent skin disorder affecting approximately 1–2% of the global population. Despite SoC treatment, the efficacy and duration of relief remain significant challenges for patients and healthcare providers alike. Anti-IgE therapy was approved as a second-line treatment, however, only approximately 40% of patients achieving complete response following 300 mg Omalizumab dosing. Thus, a novel anti-IgE treatments offering higher efficacy and prolonged relief is needed. The successful Phase II study of Ligelizumab points a way that anti-IgE antibody with higher IgE affinity and more potent efficacy (FcεRI inhibition) retains the potential to be superior against Omalizumab. In this study, Longbio Pharma developed a new generation of anti-IgE antibody, LP-003, of higher IgE binding affinity, stronger FcεRI inhibition bioactivity, compared to Omalizumab and even Ligelizumab. Meanwhile, LP-003 has a much longer half-life (approximately 45∽76 days) compared to Omalizumab (approximately 17∽20 days). Moreover, a Phase II clinical trial (NCT06228560) of total 200 adult refractory CSU patients, despite up-dosing anti-histamine (H1) treatment, are being enrolled into 5 distinct groups (n=40/group), including three LP-003 treatment groups, one omalizumab treatment group, to provide a head-to-head comparison, and one placebo group. The topline results are expected to be released in early 2025. About LP-003 About Longbio Pharma For more information, please visit: www.longbio.com or please contact: bd@longbio.com.
